Be realistic about Obama
Saturday, November 01, 2008I have heard people say they wouldn’t vote for a black man and that made me feel a certain pain in my heart. We have come so far but people still hold that old racial thing in their hearts while we are nearly sinking beneath the waves of this violent ocean of bank fraud money laundering and crooked CEOs stealing from all of us.
They would rather stand there and let those same crooks keep their hands in their pockets, losing their homes, just to say they voted for the white guy. Some say, “I just can’t bring myself to vote for a black man. Barack just scares the BeJesus out of me.” I heard a woman say that. As stupid as that was, all I could do was shake my head and wonder what world is she living in? What should scare the BeJesus out of her, whatever that is, is millions of us out of homes and penniless ready to rip each other apart as I have said might happen for the past decade or so. Now it’s here.
Wake up people! Barack Obama isn’t going to run the country by himself! He is a Harvard law society chairperson for crying out loud! He’s going to surround himself with the best financial minds he can get, to include his friend, the richest man in the world, Warren Buffett. Does anyone honestly in their right mind believe that he can do worse than George W. Bush has done? Now he wants to get his whining protege in the White House so he and Karl Rove can continue to give us the business until they start World War III.
There is no way Barack is going to have some inexperienced bunch of black dudes hanging out at the White House throwing parties and blasting loud music as some of you might think. Can’t you just see it, the White House lawn all lined up with jacked up Fords and Chevys with 24-inch rims gleaming in the sunlight. Then there is Obama and the brothers high fiving each other all day and speaking Ebonics with their pants hanging off their butts. They’re showing a lot of underwear and butt cracks. Let’s get real you all! We need a change now before we’re all doomed. If he doesn’t do as he said, we can impeach him can’t we? But let’s give him and his team a chance before nukes are the only way to get even with those who may try to hurt us again. Think about it!

I'm not voting for the black guy...because he's a socialist/communist with Marxist ideas, because his policies will take from people who have worked to achieve and give to people that haven't.
Now, if you put Michael Steele, a fiscal conservative black guy, I'd take him over McCain anyday.
It's not about race...and when it comes to the safety, sovereignty and security of the US, I, and most rational people (and they far outweigh the racist jackasses that are out there) are color-blind in the ballot box.
In fact, the only people making race a big deal in this election is Obama, and his supporters. "
